Description ritz 2008-04-22 16:02:23 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #443609 +++

Description of problem:
 virt-manager code refers to virt-manager-network in virt-manager.xml
documentation, but this section is non-existent.

I do see a section got virt-manager-details-network

$ grep virt-manager- /usr/share/gnome/help/virt-manager/C/virt-manager.xml|grep
-i netw
 <sect2 id="virt-manager-details-network"> 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.5.3

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ cd /usr/share/virt-manager
2. $ grep virt-manager-network . -R
./virtManager/create.py:            self.emit("action-show-help",
"virt-manager-network")
./virtManager/addhardware.py:            self.emit("action-show-help",
"virt-manager-network")
  
Actual results:
virt-manager-network is not avialable 

Expected results:
remove reference to virt-manager-network section, or add the same.

Built in virt-manager 0.6.1-3.el5. Setting to MODIFIED.

Comment 3 Cole Robinson 2009-06-08 15:15:29 UTC
I should have noted what the 'fix' actually is.

The virt-manager help documentation shipped with the app is massively
out of date, almost to the point of uselessness. While the proper fix
would be to update the docs to reflect reality, it would be a
non-trivial effort that I don't see happening in the short term.

To address the bugs that have accumulated wrt the docs, I've just disabled
access to the docs: all 'help' buttons/menu items have been removed.

Comment 7 Cole Robinson 2009-06-29 19:04:37 UTC
Updated fix being built into virt-manager-0.6.1-5.el5. Setting to MODIFIED.
